80th Anniversary of Parliament Issued on 11 29, 1970 (Showa 45) In November 1890 (Meiji 23), the first "Imperial Diet" was held in Japan following the promulgation of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan. The Parliament building was completed shortly before the parliament was held, but was burnt down thereafter. The current Parliament building was completed in November 1936. The stamp is issued to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the opening of the parliament, and the pigeon and the parliament building are designed.
